I've got Razr MAXX. XT910.
I got it with completely stock software. Everything was working fine, until an hour later I couldn't text properly. Like, half the time the text I send doesn't reach the receiver. And almost all the time when I get someone's text, I get over and over again. The same text. For no apparent reason. I tried to see if the receiver was being charged for the texts, no they weren't.
This was about six months ago. A month after I got the phone, I rooted the it, changed the ROM. It worked fine for about half a day and I thought I'd fixed the problem but no I again started getting the texts over and over again.
Then two days ago I put in the stock JB ROM (AU) on the phone. It worked fine for about two days this time. I thought I'd fixed it this time, but no today I started the same reply over and over again, AGAIN!
Can it be because the guy at the store cut my SIM card in a wrong way? It's not a network issue but I don't know what to do.
Hope someone can help me. Thanks!

Hi, I had very similar issue like you when I bought XT910 aswell. I wasn´t getting any messages (but sender saw them as "received") and after some time (like 2 days or so) or after reboot all texts came in at same time, and every text usually came about 8-10 times in row... Funny was that everything worked when I put my SIM in different phone.
Was looking for solution many and many weeks, and I found it - I went to my carrier, and got my SIMCard replaced, suddenly all problems were solved just like that So I think its worth the shot.
Hope it helps.
Thank you so much for the reply I'm gonna go get it replaced tomorrow then! Thank you so much this bug has been annoying me for weeks!
Thanks again!

I've had the phone for 5 days, and I've gotten about 5 restarts.
It happens when I'm doing something. Playing with ring tones, playing a poker game app...
Just wondering if it's happened to anyone else, and if it's hardware or software related.
EDIT: 9/29/2011
I've had the phone for about 2 weeks now. The past week, I've not had any restarts. Don't know what's changed. I think there was an OTA update about last week. I"ve been using it as much as I had been - web browser, angry birds, email, etc...
Oh, about last week I also re-seated the battery. Don't know if that does anything, since the battery seem like it was seated fine. But someone recommended it. Could just be a fluke.
So, one way or another, the random restarts seem to have solved itself.
Me also
Had mine for about a week and has rebooted at least 5 times. Phone seems to hang and then rebooted.
I am coming from an EVO which never had these problems. Thought about trying a Samsung or another Photon
Yea, just yesterday when I was using my flashlight app for a few minutes. It has mostly happened when I used the led flash as a flashlight. It doesn't matter which app I use, it just restarts sometimes.
And also when I was playing a game today.

I have had mine for over a month also and have had one restart..... but then again every phone I have ever had restarted on its own at some point. By far this has been the best phone yet.
Had restarts and a few lock ups everyday. Got a replacement and no issues since.

None for me after 3 weeks.
My EVO 3D used to do it once in a while when it would lose a signal.
Those who don't have random restarts hardly at all...are you installing apps and using the phone fairly heavily?
I'm wondering if this is a hardware of software issue.
Try re-seating your battery and make sure the back is on good.I was having the restart issue and it ended up being that the rep that initially started the phone up didn't put the battery door on correctly.

Exactly. I've only had one random restart, after the OTA, but I chalk it up to the heat wave where I was working. Poor Mo-Pho got up to 119 degrees.
I would also suggest a factory reset and wipe of the internal SD, a lot of times the testing of each phone before they're put in the box can cause issues.
Pew! Pew! Pew! From my Mo-Pho!

no problems here. love this phone!
Me I am facing this issue since I got the phone I am at that point of replace the unit or order other phone!
What do you think?
I am really so pissed how is that you see only good comments on this phone and no body mention this known issue on thos youtubbie crappy videos...
I cant believe that I paid good money for this phone and I am not the only one with the issue. Sad thing no body know if this is HW or Sorftware!
I have no problem fixing the software... we really need the hackers spending some time debugging this issue.
Had my phone for a month, and have had 3. I am a heavy user so I expect it. Best phone I ever had.

Ive had my phone for about a month, probably had 7 or 8 restarts total since I got it, two in one day during the first week but it seems better after the second OTA update. For the past two weeks I've only had two restarts. Each time it restarted I was playing angry birds and had let the phone got to sleep while in the middle of playing. When I woke it up it restarted. Sounds software related to me. Im rooted but not unlocked. I love this phone!
I get over 1 a day. Its sad. Def gonna get a replacement when I get the time
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk
I get atleast one a day. I don't notice because at home I set my phone down a lot. It gets worse when im on the phone surfing the web. Then it seems to do it more often. Yesterday it rebooted three times in one hour. It gets annoying but im past my 30 days to return plus Sprint doesn't have any other phone that interests me.

I have the reboot issue, but I have narrowed it down. DEVS TAKE A LOOK!!
So far I can get a 100% repro of this issue if
1. I am on WIFI for DATA and make or receive a call.
2. then leave WIFI area and attempt to call out, TXT or use 3G data.
3. phone will reboot every time when that occurs.
60% repro of reboot issue with the fallowing.
1. make or receive call with WIFI on but not attached to network.
2. go into WIFI range of a known(not new!) WIFI hotspot and phone attaches to WIFI on it's own.(this will sometimes cause the WIFI, 3G, and phone signal to all appear in the task bar at the same time)
3. make a phone call, txt or turn off WIFI then attempt to use 3G data and phone will reboot.
Also this is VERY IMPORTANT!! The conditions above will not cause the reboot on it's own. If you have data updates off or leave WIFI off all day then you might never see this. Also VERY important if you receive a call when attached to WIFI and then use your phone for data only you will not get the reboot right away it may take upto 30-40 min. Also important, if you attempt to do either repro above via making a phone call you will see the dialer get stuck at "connecting" in the upper left hand side, but it will never go to "connected" and hitting anything on the dialer or the back button will not help only home, but you will notice nothing on the phone will work anymore. This will ultimately lead to a reboot!
Here is the problem as I have trouble shot the living crap out of this and it seem that either the voice/3G radio is locking up or the dialer is crapping out.
Also on a side note that when the dialer is stuck on "connecting" if you force stop the dialer it does nothing, but if you force stop the "dialer storage" it will kill the dialer, but you will still get a reboot at some point after that.
So now we know where to look at for this issue. Can any of the devs look into this as I am not sure where to go from here, but this IS the problem everyone is seeing and can be hardware or software.
So I know I saw this somewhere but I cant seem to find it anywhere now. I am having a problem with my txt messages coming in earlier than they should. My outgoing have the correct time but my incoming in the thread is always about a half hour too early and end up making it so my threaded convos are seperated. Does anyone know how to fix this? It never did this before and just started last night after I installed a battery mod. Its really quite annoying.
samething started happening to me last night. no idea whats causing it, I havent made any changes to my phone since root a few weeks ago. still on stock fwiw
hmm I was thinking it was the time change but I was txting last night when the time changed and everything was fine after that. Then I stopped txting and installed a battery mod and the touch wiz mod and this morning I noticed none of my messages were coming in correctly. I know there is an app called smstimefix but i'd rather not have to use an app (using some battery and resources) to fix something that was working before.
mine seems to be more than a time issue, im having trouble receiving texts at all now, everything is coming in like 30 minutes late and often in mass groups of messages.
Nice to see I'm not the only one.
It's the Y2K bug back for revenge! Just really late.... kinda like my text messages....
So nobody has a fix for this?
same
I had the same problem yesterday, with both mis-labeled time and delayed message received. I don't if it was the time change or the AT&T outage in my area(maybe related?).
I just removed my battery a couple of times and texts are coming in just fine now.
Same here. That was really strange cuz the time change didnt affect me at first but when I woke up it was all messed up. hmm oh well lol.
I talked to an AT&T person and she said it was caused by the time change and should be fixed by now ISH

This has been happening to me on and off for the last month. I hope its a network thing, but it seems unlikely if it was happening a month ago.
Anybody's evo lte reboot? my does it constantly now. This is the second day I've owned it. The first day it rebooted once randomly and I discounted it as a glitch. Now I can't even use the thing, it's "almost" stuck in a reboot loop.... going to sprint tomorrow but I thought I'd ask.
Mine did so I exchanged it.

Thanks a ton. Did it today and so far this one is working great. The guy at sprint couldn't believe it for some reason, and apparently there isn't much stuff on the sprint forums about it. I told him that I found a bunch of stuff at XDA. Anyways it rebooted 4 times while I was there right in front of him. Sounds like they almost never do exchanges.. at least at this store. Anyways, thanks for the help.
That's good to hear. Mine didn't reboot in front of the tech but at least I had the crash report from when it rebooted while I was waiting.

Mine was doing that all the time.. Over the weekend I did a factory reset (Power Button / Up Vol) and then updated the PRL. That seemed to help for about a day and half. But the problem resurfaced. I had only added some of my apps back and setup my blue tooth headset. I was at first thinking it was my blue tooth caused the issue. Yesterday while I was at work it rebooted at lest 12 different times.. Even when I wasn't even touching it.
So I called support first and they opened up a case for me. I dropped by Sprint after work and they took it back and did their checking of the phone.. Here's what I found out.
1. My phone was apparently a revision behind. Can't say for sure if that is true because I didn't note down what I had before i brought it in. So I'll take their word for it. Obviously they factory reset the phone again.
2. The rep I worked with informed me that there is some glitchy apps out there. One that he mentioned that kind of stood out was Go SMS Pro.
Well to continue on here. The phone didn't reboot again after they did their thing. But today I had reloaded and then setup GO SMS Pro again and all of a sudden my reboot problem resurfaced. So I removed Go SMS Pro completely off the phone and I haven't had a reboot since. That was over 12 hours ago. I'll keep an eye on it and also notify the developer just in case. But if you like to use Go SMS like I do that might be part of your problem.
My suggestion make sure you have the latest software revision and then keep an eye on your apps and see if one of them might be causing "System Crash" on your phone.
Hope this helps!!!
I have had about 2 random reboots since May 30th.

I am on jivy's ICScrewed 2.1 ROM running Siyah's last GB kernel. From time to time, my phone will suddenly become unable to receive text messages. I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891427. I do believe it's the same issue, but I was wondering if anyone knows the cause. I have been using this ROM for a while now, and this never happened. Only a couple months ago did this start occuring. Then lately, it's been happening more frequently. Instead of having to wipe and recover maybe once every 3 months, it's been turning into every month, then every 2 weeks, and twice within one week this week. It's just a pain in the ass to have to keep doing this. I'm not sure if it's the ROM itself. If it was, then wouldn't I have been experiencing this when I first started using the ROM? If anyone has a (permanent) fix for this, I'd appreciate it. I hate waking up to no texts. Makes me feel lonely.

I've been having the same problem intermittently. I had it today and 2 days ago. The temporary fix is to take the SIM card out of my phone and put it in my old BB Bold 9700 to get the missed texts then put the SIM back into my SGS2. Then the texting works again. But the problem eventually comes back. It's not a ROM problem. I'm rooted and using a Gingerbread ROM. I don't know what causes this. I've tried wiping the Dalvik cache and deleteing old text messages and this didn't seem to work. The SIM switching seems to be the only trick. I haven't called ATT. (They are usually in denial when there is some kind of issue on their end.)
If you find a solution then please post it!!!
I have had the same problem. Running the same ROM for a long problem then recently (~last 2 months) it started happening. I was running Sashir's Aberration ROM but it was the old (pre Dec. 2012) version.
One time I contacted at&t and they said my sim was an old outdated version so they gave me a new one which fixed the problem... for a couple weeks. I may go several days receiving no texts (send works fine) then all the sudden I get them all in one batch. After that it will receive texts fine until it eventually happens again.
I just flashed the new Aberration and hopefully it stops happening.

Hi guys, long time X2 user here. I have recently been having text messaging problems in which every now and then a text I send will look like it went through fine on my phone, but the recipient never receives it. Or, sometimes a text will not go through as mentioned above but then if I send another text an hour or two later to the same person, she gets both texts at the same time!!! Even though they were sent hours or even days apart.
It is incredibly frustrating, and texting is one of the few things that I NEED my phone to do. I'm booting up an older Driod 3 to use for now, but has anyone had a problem like this? Or does anyone know how to fix it? I've sbf-ed twice, been on stock, CM7, and Eclipse but the problem persists on all of them. Thanks

cm9 is one of the only roms that hasnt done this to me. about time for a new phone i say. x2 has been hell.
if i hadnt seen that most android phones ran MUCH better than this one, i would probably move on to another OS entirely.
i now know that paying a little bit out of pocket at upgrade time will save you HOURS and SOOO MANY headaches down the road. s4 here i come !
i honestly dont think there is a way around this issue. but i can also so that eclipse has never given me this problem. although it has plenty of its own problems as well.
are all of these texts to the same person? could it be them/their phone?
Nah it's crazy. I know of 4 different phones it has done this with, 2 iphones and 2 other droids.
I'm pretty good with troubleshooting things, but I'm not really sure what else I can do for this other than an sbf LOL.
I need my phone to do two things, at the bare minimum: make calls and text. That's it haha. This might force me to put the old X2 out to pasture if I can't fix it; because I doubt Verizon will fix it, they'll probably just charge me for a pre-owned replacement.

it made me really mad a few years ago when my mother ran over her Voyager and they sent her a refurbished phone as a replacement. the first one they sent her even had a bad esn. she cried. i raged. and i havent payed for "insurance" since. i just get a good case as my "insurance"
i guess that delayed and sometimes mis-sent text is just something we have to live with in order to enjoy technology. i cant say that i have had this issue much, if at all. unless i was running cm7. sorry about your luck sir.
